In the 2024 masters, Bryson Dechambeau fired rounds of 65-73 to hold a portion of the top at the 36-year sign. Then, he faded in round 3 with a 75, eventually ending T6.
The following month, Dechambeau the second In the PGA Championship in Valhalla, and then, a month later, won his second major In the open SH.BA at Pinehurst no. 2 in June.
Despite the fact that Dechambeau still does not have to win again since his open victory in the US, he ranked among the favorites Heading to masters, with Bettors predicting that Dechambeau would take exactly where he left last year. And indeed, he has. With the opening rounds of 69-68, Dechambeau is just one shot after the leader at the point of half, Justin Rose.
But what’s in the store for the remaining rounds this weekend? Dechambeau said he learned a lot from the break-of-3s last year; Namely, that setting is an unjustifiable key to success around Augusta. Especially from long distance.
“I really took it with my heart to practice my speed control because here, it is about controlling speed, twice from a 40-, 50 meters over a large mound and whatever,” Dechambeau said on Friday. “So I got it in my heart, go practicing a lot of 50-, 60-foot in the last two months and working on my long placement and make sure I was starting it in my line. This was a big problem I had last year in the third round I was just not starting in the line, and this week I found something to help start the line a little more for me.”
What is it ‘something?’ According to Dechambeau, she was also in the game for his triumph in Pinehurst.
“I hadn’t been setting up very well this season. A little great for me. Just not starting it in my line, feeling that attraction the same as I did last year,” he said. “This week in Green Green, I was just focusing on how I could start it more constantly in line. I found something for a week in Pinehurst last year, and I did really well with it. And then she started leaving again.
“So I’ve been struggling with attractions from then, and I’ve come this week, even all the way to this week, I was like, man, why are you pulling it? I can’t understand why you are attracting it,” he continued. “I tried everything in the book. And then Connor, my manager, and I’m just talking about it, and he goes,” Why don’t you feel like opening your face, but remove the line more and don’t let it go inside? “Because I tried to open my face before, and just felt weird.
This “a small thing” is the payment of dividends to Dechambeau, which ranks second in the field in general by placing the first two rounds, after only Cameron Smith.
“I will keep it simple,” Dechambeau said. “I’m excited. Very excited for the weekend. That’s what it’s about golf.”
